In vitro vs. In vivo: I am unclear about garlic in particular, but let's look at anti-cancer therapy more generally. Many, many (all?) things can kill cancer cells (=apoptosis; there are other modes of cell death, but apoptosis is the most common) in vitro (outside of the body). The predictive ability of in vitro killing to in vivo (in body) effectiveness is not great.
